What it will take...

Out of boredom, I decided to see what it would take for us in the final month and a half of the season to make the playoffs. In case some of you didn't know, we sit 28th in the league...

-Win practically every game. Can only drop maybe 6 at the most by no more than 1 point (maybe 2).

-Have an average points of +4 for every game.

-Philly, Boston, and Montreal all have to start losing pretty badly.

-In order for the 3rd point to be true, we have to beat Boston and Montreal in March by at least 3.

-We have 5 divisional games. MUST win all of them by at least 2.

-Pray every night, drink our milk, don't run with scissors, and wear our seat belts.

If we do all of this, we have a shot at 8th in the Eastern.

With all that being said, if anybody is holding out hope, forget about it. Have to play the Pens and the Caps a few times each and they will probably finish out towards the top of the league. We get some upsets, don't get upset, and have a few dominant games, there is still an outside shot. If it were to happen, this team would go down in history as being the best comeback team in the history of the NHL.

I wouldn't say we need to lose. Yeah, that pick is big. But we had one of the best 1st rounders in last years draft...and we traded him. <_<. For JR it is about KEEPING the fan base. Sure, we understand wanting that 1st pick and losing to get it. But let's face it, your casual fans won't show up if you drop off the face of the Earth and with over a month of games left, that could be big in a struggling economy. In terms of team, yes, we need to lose. In terms of franchise, the more we win, the better.

      Another Win

      Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down.

      Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
